Package 'pkgmeta'

Return meta data on CRAN and github packages

Description

Find meta data for all packages on CRAN that match a given author and all packages contained in a vector of github repositories and return as a tibble. Meta data on packages that are both on CRAN and github will be combined into a single row. Where meta data clash, the CRAN version is preferred when prefer_cran is TRUE, otherwise the github version is preferred.

Usage

get_meta(
  cran_author = NULL,
  include_downloads = FALSE,
  start = "2000-01-01",
  github_repos = NULL,
  prefer_cran = TRUE
)

Arguments

cran_author	Character string to find in CRAN author names
include_downloads	Should total CRAN downloads since start be added to the tibble?
start	Start date for download statistics. Ignored if include_downloads is FALSE.
github_repos	Character vector of github repos
prefer_cran	When a package is both on CRAN and github, which information should be preferenced?

Examples

get_meta(cran_author = "Hyndman")
get_meta(github_repos = c("robjhyndman/forecast", "earowang/hts"))
get_meta(cran_author = "Emi Tanaka", github_repos = c("numbats/yowie", "numbats/monash"))
